That Thomas Luthi is a nutter

Don't you just love EU money? They give so much money to Spain that we
have a motorway joing all the farms together. We've got roads here to
die for without a vehicle in sight.

It might be over a week since I filled up. Have to go out and get some
Ruddles tomorrow, so I'll take a look. The price of butane just rose
*again* to 10.20, so I was assuming any petro-products wouldn't have
gone *down* in price.

Yes, tho' it used to be 'recommended' rather than compulsory.
I do recall that on my first day in Switzerland when my new boss was
driving me out to PSI, we stopped at a traffic light for a single-lane
bridge over the Aare[1] and there was a cop stationed there who came across
and reminded Migg that he should switch off his engine while the light
was red. There was something like the first two (or three?) cars at a
red light didn't have to kill their engines but anyone further back than
that had to shut down.

for Vogelsang between Brugg and Koblenz if you really GAF.

Studies suggest about 7 seconds worth afair. So if you are going to be
stopped for 10 it becomes economic to turn the engine off.

Not just fuel. The energy used by the battery to turn the starter has to
be replaced too.

I my cage it's really annoying because if you turn of the engine the
immobiliser kicks in.
